Embarking on this journey is just the beginning of an incredible adventure, with numerous delights lying ahead. The breathtaking mountain panorama that stretches out before your eyes continues all the way to the Chinese frontier. Several narrow routes delve into the heart of precipitous, terraced valleys, and ascend high above fierce rivers bloated with icy mountain run-off, leading to isolated ethnic communities. A few homestays here provide basic lodging for travellers. This trip forms a picturesque circuit, commencing and concluding in Sapa, through the elevated settlement of Y Ty. It serves as an excellent retreat from the increasingly unattractive and crowded mountain town of Sapa.
